According to a recent announcement from Meta, the Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset has just experienced a permanent price reduction in response to the release of the Meta Quest 3. The discount on both Meta Quest 2 models is $50. The price of the 256GB variant is now $299 (was $349), while the 128GB option is now $249 (was $299).

Although the price reductions take effect right away, this is not the first time the VR headset has been offered at this lower cost. The Quest 2 headset was reduced by $50 during the most recent Black Friday promotions, but these discounts will apply to the headset all year long.

Meta has also confirmed the price reductions for a variety of official Quest 2 accessories. Among them are the Quest 2 Elite Strap, which is currently retailing for $49 (it was previously $59), and the Elite Strap with battery, which is now priced at $89 (it was previously $119).

Meta Quest 2 Price Reduction
In order to maximize your headset experience, we’re also cutting the cost of Quest 2 accessories.

Meanwhile, the Active Pack is now $59 (was $69), the Fit Pack is $39 (was $49), and the Quest 2 Carry Case is now $45 (was $59). Amazon and Best Buy are just two of the retailers that will carry these higher rates.

The headset’s price reduction was announced almost a year after Meta raised the cost of both storage versions by $100, over two years after the device’s initial debut in 2020. Later on, the 256GB Quest 2 model was reduced in price to $429.99.

The Quest 3, which Meta intends to deliver this autumn for $499.99, was revealed on the same day as the price reduction. It also has a scheduled gaming presentation later today, with the promise of “new game announcements, gameplay first-looks, updates to existing games, and more.”

When the Quest 3 is released later in the year, Meta says it will still be offering the Quest 2 in addition to the professional-focused Quest Pro. According to the press announcement, “Quest 2 remains our most affordable entry point to VR and Pro is optimized for work use cases, with face and eye tracking for more authentic self-expression in meetings.”

Meta claims that a future software update will boost the Quest 2 and Quest Pro’s CPU performance by up to 26%. Additionally, the upgrade will result in a 19% increase in Quest 2 and an 11% increase in Quest Pro GPU performance.

Users will experience “smoother gameplay, a more responsive UI, and richer content on both headsets,” according to Meta. However, developers will need to adjust their programs to take full advantage of the enhancements.

Both pieces of hardware will also support Dynamic Resolution Scaling, which will let “so games and apps can take advantage of increased pixel density without dropping frames” when the GPU is not being used to its full potential.
